You can make a difference today. A donation now can help provide immediate support. Think about the causes most important to you and what you'd like your money to achieve. Ask yourself:
What issues do I care about?
Helping people, the environment, animal welfare? Do I want my donation to help with an immediate need or support longer-term change?
Where do I want to have impact?
Do I want to support local, national or international projects and causes?
Where can I make the greatest difference?
Organisations like Charity Navigator and Give What You Can use evidence based research to identify the organisations they consider have the most impact, meaning the money you donate goes further.
Is there a charity whose work I particularly value?
Perhaps you or your family have been supported by an organisation through a life changing event, illness or experience.
What can I afford to give?
Your wealth, disposable income and financial priorities are personal. Read more about common benchmarks used to guide what you could give here.
